The Erricos

In the city directories 1940 · three people at three addresses

The directories print three people named Errico at three addresses in 1940 in three of the city's neighbourhoods. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family.

The addresses are in Downtown, Hastings-Sunrise and Kerrisdale. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists A Errico at 6591 Angus Drive; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Alfonso Errico there as the householder, a tailor. In 1940 the directory lists G Errico at 2596 East 7th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Gerardo Errico there as the householder, a barber at Vancouver Hotel Barber Shop, with Gloria V Errico, a stenographer.

In 1940 the directory lists A Errico, a tailor, at 712 Robson Street.

Today

6591 Angus Drive still has its building from before 1946, dated 1922 by the City's record; 2596 East 7th (2019) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 712 Robson, so that building is probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under E. Want a name removed? Tell us.
